22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

I loved the slanted apartment not just from a "that would have been so fun to work on" POV but it's also so well done and so perfect for that character. No explanation, clearly awful, clearly making everyone's life harder, but everyone goes with it because she has the wealth and power. *chef's kiss*

There was so much wonderul new and experimental sound happening in music in the mid-90s: Björk, Cibo Matto, Aphex Twin, Ruby, Takako Minekawa… and yet somehow Endtroducing still feels like an outlier, it’s such a bizarre album to me (that I still love).

If I recall, this shot was specifically to play with (early gen) KinoFlo as a potential viable studio light source for film photography. Other than as a niche, it wasn't. I did like the weird color temp it created though, by blowing out the exposure a bit it had sort of a cross-processed vibe.

College work: My buddy Matt, who I photographed throughout my college career because, quite honestly, he was one of 3 people in Rochester, NY that I found exciting enough to shoot. You may recognize him from a vintage Titan (porn) video; his acting debut, which he did around the time this was shot.

It’s amazing how well the artists did with the silicone skin over its robot body. Though I think they might have gotten the robot part from Temu.

Today I had to buy a new hard drive. It required a re-mortgaging of our home. Jeebus they're 'spensive. Anyway, as a result I'm going through some files so enjoy this late post for #MCM featuring the kind and crushworthy Mr. Alex Minsky.

Is it weird to anyone else when a celebrity pop artist who has amassed extraordinary wealth on a platform of human rights, sides with a military power actively engaged in ethnic cleansing*? It's almost as if someone who is making money off of their image might be greedily performative. 🤔 *at best

#mcm Model Sean Ching for @advocate.com probably 15+ years ago. We did a story on body image - Sean was our token fit model-y guy. We shot a wide variety of body types and gender expressions, but everyone was nude. About half were "regular people" who hadn't modeled before. Super fun shoot.

“Don’t hate the player, hate the game“ has become my mantra. I know it’s dumb. Everyone is being manipulated by wealth and power that is beyond our comprehension. Many people who voted different than I did actually agree with me, but we will never know it if we don’t attempt to know each other.

So glad I got to see Dolly perform at the Hollywood Bowl ≈ 12 years ago. Truly an original and an icon, she inspired me (us?) to be a kinder better, lighter person. “Jolene” will always be a favorite. I read that her family has requested people donate to her charity imaginationlibrary.com

Just started getting back into them too. Mwng was one of my favorite albums of theirs at the time - probably mostly for sentimental reasons - but an enjoyable listen nonetheless.

Eric Schwabel @mrschwabel.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

“Postcard from Earth” or whatever the first one was, was amazing. They need to focus on original content. They did do a huge (new, digital) tornado scene that was fun to be in. Leaves/apples/snow dropping from the ceiling was cute but the terrible digital reconstruction was laughable.

Eric Schwabel @mrschwabel.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Saw Wizard of Oz at Sphere Las Vegas. Just god-awful. The digital reconstruction looked like 90s TV compositing. Characters randomly glitched out or had 3 arms here and there. Dorothy’s mouth for the first 30 minutes looked like the Joker and didn’t sync with her voice. I highly recommend not going.

Happy Friday, y'all! There were a few years right before I left LA where I worked with Alex Minsky pretty regularly, to the extent that we did a show of just our work together. Sadly we no longer live in the same state, but I'm fairly certain there will be more collabs in the future.
